Ruslan Malinovsky took part in a friendly match against Alessandria after a period of rehabilitation, which was caused by the operation.
The Ukrainian midfielder appeared on the field at the 59th minute of the meeting, but was unable to score effective actions.
Atalanta achieved a 7-1 victory thanks to goals from Scalvini, Ilicic (2), Pashalich, Muriel, Gosens and Toloi.
Note that Malinovsky was recovering after surgery for a hernia of the abdomen, which took place on July 8.
Recall that another Ukrainian footballer from Atalanta, Viktor Kovalenko, moved to La Spezia on loan.
